Abstract
Emergency medicine has seen rapid technological advancements in recent years, impacting diagnosis, treatment and patient care. This study assesses the current state of technological innovations in emergency medicine, examining their adoption, effectiveness and challenges. A cross‐sectional study was conducted among 200 emergency departments (EDs) to evaluate the integration and impact of technological innovations. Data were collected through surveys and interviews, focusing on the types of technology in use, their implementation challenges and perceived benefits. The study found that the majority of EDs have adopted at least one form of technological innovation, with telemedicine, electronic health records and point‐of‐care testing being the most prevalent. Despite facing implementation challenges, such as staff training and budget constraints, most departments reported improvements in patient care and operational efficiency. Technological innovations are increasingly integral to emergency medicine, offering significant benefits despite the challenges of adoption. Further research is needed to optimize implementation strategies and assess long‐term impacts.
